mogrify

resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and much more. Mogrify overwrites the original image file, whereas, convert(1) writes to a different image file.

TLDR

Resize all JPEG images in the directory to 50% of their initial size

$ mogrify -resize [50%] [*.jpg]
copy


Resize all images starting with DSC to 800x600
$ mogrify -resize [800x600] [DSC*]
copy


Convert all PNGs in the directory to JPEG
$ mogrify -format [jpg] [*.png]
copy


Halve the saturation of all image files in the current directory
$ mogrify -modulate [100,50] [*]
copy


Double the brightness of all image files in the current directory
$ mogrify -modulate [200] [*]
copy

SYNOPSIS

magick mogrify [options] input-file

OVERVIEW

The mogrify program is a member of the ImageMagick(1) suite of tools. Use it to resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and much more. This tool is similar to convert(1) except the original image file is overwritten with any changes you request.

By default, the image format of `file' is determined by its magic number. To specify a particular image format, precede the filename with an image format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps). Specify 'file' as '-' for standard input or output.
